William James (1842–1910) was among the first professors of psychology in the United States. Hired by Harvard University in 1872 as a professor of physiology, he took on the new title of professor of psychology in 1889. Like Wundt, he was an avid promoter of the new field of psychology. Just as Wundt did, James taught many students who would disseminate his ideas into the wider world. Although his interests eventually took him far beyond psychology, his book Principles of Psychology, published in 1890, had a long and powerful influence on the development of the field.
